THE ROLE - Business Studies Teacher
As a Business Studies Teacher you will be teaching Key Stage 3 - 4, with the offering of Key Stage 5 to be added to the timetable for a capable practitioner. You will need to be confident in delivering GCSE and A Level to a high standard. Ideally you will have an undergraduate degree in a related Business Studies field along with the appropriate Business Studies teacher training qualification. If you have experience in teaching or an interest in other topic areas within Business Studies this will be advantageous. As with any Business Studies Teacher role, the ability to teach through the Business Studies or Economics syllabus is desired.
Students and teachers alike enjoy lessons, which make for a positive and purposeful atmosphere throughout the school. This school is only looking to employ passionate educators, candidates who are prepared to fully immerse themselves in the school community, be willing to plan, prepare and deliver all lessons independently and take part in extra curricular activities.
The Business Studies Teacher department is well resourced and well run, the team work together and continually raise standards. They have a great work space, bright and airy classrooms. Enterprise and critical thinking is embedded in the school's ethos and teaching right across the curriculum, and this has been found to bring passion and excellence to teaching and learning.
This position will be starting in January on a permanent basis and would suit either an ECT or experienced teacher. The school offers great training plus a clear and attainable path for promotion - many responsibility post holders have been promoted from within the departments.
